Anatomy of a collapse: How the Indian batting unravelled on a Sunday to forget

Yashavi Jaiswal: Used the feet to Tom Hartley, but ended up spooning a catch to short-leg. The attacking instinct he showed in the first innings was clearly missing.

Shubman Gill: A harmless, tossed-up full delivery on off-stump, which he could have driven along the carpet. Instead, a tentative prod meant he played into the hands of silly point.

Rohit Sharma: As Hartley kept attacking the stumps with full deliveries, he kept playing him from the crease. It meant that in case of vicious turn or a straighter one, there was less time to adjust. Was adjudged LBW to a straight one.

Axar Patel: One that started a mini-collapse. Having looked comfortable in his brief stay, he ended up giving a return catch to Hartley off a delivery he could have put anywhere else.

KL Rahul: With Joe Root trying to get him with straighter ones from around the wicket, instead of going forward, Rahul ended up playing this one on the back foot. Was adjudged LBW.

Ravindra Jadeja: With India already in deep trouble, he was supposed to play the rescue act. Instead, went for a tight single and Ben Stokes, despite being half-balanced, managed a direct hit.

Shreyas Iyer: Arguably the best player of spin, his role is to take them down with an aggressive approach. As Jack Leach sent one full away from the off-stump, he went for a loose drive and was grabbed at slip.

KS Bharat: Was undone by a delivery that turned sharply. It could have taken out most batsmen, but had he used his feet to get down the track or taken a long stride, it could have been defended.

R Ashwin: Having run out of partners, Ashwin, who until then used a long stride, and having missed a few long hops that kept low, charged down the pitch to Hartley and missed it altogether.
